Nonequilibrium entropy and entropy distributions

Physical Review B, 1990
Glasses have nonzero zero-temperature entropies. Because they are out of equilibrium, the ``thermodynamic'' entropy, determined by heat flow, is not equal to the ``statistical'' entropy, which measures volumes in phase space. We discuss the relationship between the two kinds of entropy in nonequilibrium systems and show that the thermodynamic entropies

On Entropy-Stable Discretizations and the Entropy Adjoint

Journal of Scientific Computing, 2021
For symmetrizable conservation laws, the entropy variables are adjoints for a functional that balances entropy flux into the domain with sources of entropy inside the domain. In this paper, it was shown that entropy-stable summation by parts (SBP) discretizations mimic an additional property of the continuous equations: the entropy adjoint. The entropy

Entropy

Best Practice & Research Clinical Anaesthesiology, 2006
The concept of entropy, originally derived from thermodynamics, has been successfully applied to EEG analysis. Various entropy algorithms have been used in clinical studies, but until now a commercially available monitor exists only for spectral entropy.

Inaccessible entropy

Proceedings of the forty-first annual ACM symposium on Theory of computing, 2009
We put forth a new computational notion of entropy, which measures the (in)feasibility of sampling high entropy strings that are consistent with a given protocol. Specifically, we say that the i'th round of a protocol (A,B) has *accessible entropy* at most k, if no polynomial-time strategy A* can generate messages for A such that the entropy of its ...

Entropies and cross-entropies of exponential families

2010 IEEE International Conference on Image Processing, 2010
Statistical modeling of images plays a crucial role in modern image processing tasks like segmentation, object detection and restoration. Although Gaussian distributions are conveniently handled mathematically, the role of many other types of distributions has been revealed and emphasized by natural image statistics.

SOME RESULTS ON ENTROPY AND SEQUENCE ENTROPY

International Journal of Bifurcation and Chaos, 1999
In this paper we study some formulas involving metric and topological entropy and sequence entropy. We summarize some classical formulas satisfied by metric and topological entropy and ask the question whether the same or similar results hold for sequence entropy.

Entropy and entropy of mixing

Materialwissenschaft und Werkstofftechnik, 2014
Entropy as a function of temperature at constant volume, S(T), can be determined by integrating the molar specific entropy capacity CV/T (CV: molar specific heat capacity at constant volume). As a second approach, S(T) at constant volume can be determined by differentiating the free energy with respect to the temperature, T. Recently, it has been shown

When is an Entropy an Entropy?

AIP Conference Proceedings, 2006
I consider the conceptual arguments leading to the validity of the conventional physical approach to thermodynamics, as we know it. In spite of the familiarity we have with this approach, its internal logical structure deserves to be extracted. No new features are found, but some universal properties emerge. These are then applied to the unconventional

Entropy Power Inequality for the Rényi Entropy

IEEE Transactions on Information Theory, 2015
The classical entropy power inequality is extended to the Renyi entropy. We also discuss the question of the existence of the entropy for sums of independent random variables.
